HE DID NOT RECIEVE PRESIDENT GOODLUCK WHEN HE CAME TO EDO...OBA of BENIN TELLS HOW HE PRAYED FOR OSHIOMOLE TO DEFEAT PDP

Oba of Benin

When the re-elected Governor of Edo state went on a thank you visit to present his certificate of return to the Oba of  benin's Palace, Oba Erediauwa disclosed this on Tuesday when Oshiomhole alongside his deputy, Dr. Pius Odubu, visited him in his palace, where the governor presented him with his Certificate of Return. The respected Benin traditional ruler, Oba Erediauwa, yesterday, disclosed how he prayed to his ancestors and God Almighty to give Governor Adams Oshiomhole victory in the just conducted governorship election in Edo state, so that he can complete the impressive projects his administration had embarked on.

Before the Oba spoke, he brought out a ‘special’ kola and hot drink, which he ordered the Iyase of Benin kingdom to pray with for the second tenure of Oshiomhole.
The Iyase equally thanked God and the ancestors for ensuring victory for Oshiomhole and prayed that the gods will provide the wherewithal with which the governor will use to continue his infrastructural development.
After the prayers, Oba told Oshiomole that he had always prayed for the success of the governor privately but that he had now decided to address him publicly now that God and the ancestors had answered his prayers.
Omo N' Oba said,

“I have addressed you privately and prayed for you for your second term. You are welcomed to my palace. We have watched what you have done, like what the media is saying that your handwork is going to campaign for you. I prayed to my ancestors for you too and every body has seen what you are doing for the people.
“Some of the roads that were- left in a bad state, we have seen what you have done. And, of course, not only Benin Kingdom but the entire state, infrastructural developments are going on. The last time you came, I prayed to the ancestors to assist you come back to complete the works your started.  As my Chief was praying, he added in his prayers that God and the ancestors should provide you the wherewithal to carry on with your infrastructural development and do more.”

After the entire proceedings, Governor oshiomole thanked the Oba and vowed to continue with his good works.
